Flag Race
Chuck Wight on Alazar (2000)
|
The rider may choose to run to the right or left and as they pass the first barrel, they pickup the flag, race around the pole, back to the second barrel, and attempt to place the flag in the second bucket. If the rider knocks over the first bucket or the pole, a 5-second penalty will be assessed. If the rider does not pick up the flag or misses the second bucket, no time will be given. If the second bucket or barrel are knocked over, the rider is disqualified. Sounds easy, but try this at 30 plus miles per hour on the back of a horse. |

A triangular pattern similar to that of the barrel race is used, with the substitution of a pole in place of barrel number three. The two other barrels have a bucket that is 3/4 full of rabbit pellets placed on top of it, and a flag in one of these buckets.
